This is my first non-action Jet Li film and I was pleasantly surprised. Despite watching numerous Jet Li action flicks prior to this, it was easy to wash away prior expectations and fall into steps with the Wong family. Autism is still very much misunderstood in China, and this film offered a realistic perspective of what Dafu and his father has to go through. The premise of the film is easily a tearjerker, but I'm glad the film didn't try to pull any weight to get there. Subtle and silent giving of Sam, and Dafu's willingness to try and learn allowed my emotions to come willingly and naturally. Watching Sam's love for Dafu also helped me to appreciate my own father more. Overall definitely watch to see a different Jet Li.
